Youth is just something the San Diego Padres will need to deal with in the next few seasons. The roster won’t develop over night, so patience is necessary.
In the meantime though, the team must find ways to maximize the production of their young players. This includes a very young outfield, with loads of uncertainty.
One player currently on the roster which is often overlooked is Oswaldo Arcia. Though his contract expires at the end of the year, one would think it wouldn’t take much for general manager A.J. Preller to bring him back.
